People, Places and Policy
People, Places and Policy Set within the context of UK devolution and constitutional change, People, Places and Policy offers important and interesting insights into ‘place-making’ and ‘locality-making’ in contemporary Wales. Combining policy research with policy-maker and stakeholder interviews at various spatial scales (local, regional, national), it examines the historical processes and working practices that have produced the complex political geography of Wales. This book looks at the economic, social and political geographies of Wales, which in the context of devolution and public service governance are hotly debated. It offers a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework for capturing the dynamics of locality-making, to go beyond the obsession with boundaries and coterminous geog- raphies expressed by policy-makers and politicians. Three localities – Heads of the Valleys (north of Cardiff), central and west coast regions (Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and the former district of Montgomeryshire in Powys) and the A55 corridor (from Wrexham to Holyhead) – are discussed in detail to illustrate this and also reveal the geographical tensions of devolution in contemporary Wales. This book is an original statement on the making of contemporary Wales from the Wales Institute of Social and Economic Research, Data and Methods (WISERD) researchers. It deploys a novel ‘new localities’ theoretical framework and innovative mapping techniques to represent spatial patterns in data. This allows the timely uncovering of both unbounded and fuzzy relational policy geographies, and the more bounded administrative concerns, which come together to produce and reproduce over time Wales’ regional geography.

Ministers Reflect Jane Hutt
Ministers Reflect Jane Hutt 13 September 2018 Biographical details Welsh Assembly history 1999–present: Labour Party Assembly Member for Vale of Glamorgan Welsh government career 2018–present: Chief Whip 2016–17: Leader of the House and Chief Whip 2011–16: Minister for Finance 2009–11: Minister for Business and Budget 2007–09: Minister for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills 2007: Minister for Budget and Assembly Business 2005–07: Minister for Assembly Business and Chief Whip 1999–2005: Minister for Health and Social Services 2 MINISTERS REFLECT Jane Hutt was interviewed by Akash Paun and Tess Kidney Bishop on 13 September 2018 for the Institute for Government’s Ministers Reflect project. Jane Hutt talks about taking responsibility for crises as Health Minister and striking deals with opposition parties as Chief Whip and Finance Minister. Reflecting on the transfer of powers to Wales over her time in government, she calls for “powers for a purpose”. Tess Kidney Bishop (TKB): If we could go back to 1999, can you tell us how you were appointed as the Health Minister? Jane Hutt (JH): Well, it was ‘hit the ground running’ really. We were elected on the Thursday. Labour had the largest number of seats and [Alun] Michael was deputed to be the First Secretary as we called them then. He had to decide whether he could go on and form a minority administration. Within days he then appointed his Cabinet of Labour ministers. Andrew Davies was one, and he appointed me to be Health and Social Services Minister. Obviously everybody knew each other very well. -
Submission to the Justice Commission from Alun Michael
Rt Hon Alun Michael BA (Hons) JP OStJ FRSA Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales Comisiynydd yr Heddlu a Throseddu De Cymru Submission to the Commission on Justice in Wales by the Police & Crime Commissioner for South Wales Dear Lord Thomas, 1. I am very pleased indeed to respond to the “Call for Evidence” issued by your Commission because this is a unique opportunity to set Policing and Justice in the full context of Public Services in Wales. Devolved and non-devolved services depend on each other and I find it important to stress at every opportunity that “Everything is connected to everything else” as we strive to combat silo thinking and practice in public services. 2. I hope I have correctly interpreted the way that your Commission has scoped its work, deciding first to ask “What would an efficient and effective Criminal Justice System for Wales look like?” and to set aside questions of devolution of Policing and/or the Criminal Justice System until that question has been answered. 3. I warmly applaud that approach, since even the excellent Silk Commission became bogged down in governmental and organisational issues by seeking to answer “yes” or “no” to whether Policing should be devolved. If that question is asked in isolation, the answer must surely be “it depends” and the test of any scheme of devolution must surely be whether it delivers the best outcomes for the people of Wales. 4. The two strands of political thinking - in relation to Devolution and in relation to Criminal Justice - have been to golden threads throughout my career. -

Section 26 of the School Standards and Framework Act requires each local education authority to prepare and adopt a School Organisation Plan for its area. School Organisation Plans inform the local education authority and others about the need to add or remove school places within the local authority area. They are also intended to help Local Authorities and others to take a strategic view of the planning of school places across their area. 2. The School Organisation Plan presents information relevant to a five-year period following its publication each year, and is subject to review and revision on an annual basis. 3. The School Organisation Plan 2002-2007 for Cardiff (Draft for Consultation) was published on 1 October 2001 and over 500 copies were circulated to Council Members, School Governing Bodies and Headteachers and a wide variety of individuals and organisations. It was also made available for inspection in Council offices. The consultation period ran between 1 October and 3 December 2001. Arising out of this, 18 responses were received. 4. The draft plan has built on the 2001-2006 School Organisation Plan, drawing together demographic and other statistical information relevant to the planning of school places, including information about the demand for schooling in the primary, secondary, sixth form and nursery sectors, in specially resourced schools and units and for pupils who are out of school.
